Well that is the Authenticating, Authorising done and the Service provisioning sorted. Now it's time to see if I can get anything useful out of the BTS for Account purposes. Any pointer Ben? Ideally the customer would like to see session bandwidth usage and all those normal kind of stats - will the BTS provide anything remotely resembling this look at that Acct log files on the FreeRadius the only information seems to be login info (but at least the MAC is provided in the Calling-Station-id!) ? :-/ Thanks in advance Steve On Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:17:32 +0700, Ben Wiechman <wiechman.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
Actually authorization in their hybrid 16d system that Steve is using is very seamless. We've looked at many solutions and in most configuration/service assignment revolves around some kind of custom NMS that is a complete kludge or require service levels to be configured in each MS individually. Supplying the services via RADIUS is a decent semi-standardized approach that helps with centralization.
I think they could stand to improve the attribute structure a bit as the long string is a fun regular expression exercise when you work for standardization. Then again, you should see the DHCP option string that is used to configure their ATA adapters... heh
It's really their ASN-GW that deviates... a bit... from the standard. And the fact that they have a strange attitude toward IOT. We asked and were essentially told that the FR team would have to come crawling to Tel Aviv on their bellies and beg for the chance to be forced to pay for IOT testing. Helpfully pointing out that IOT testing would be a non-issue if the established standard was followed wasn't met with much of a response.

Hopefully someone has come across this before and can easily answer the question I am attempting to get an Alvarion Breezemax basestation working with FreeRadius for provisioning of services.
Best advice you are going to get here is: "avoid Alvarion if possible".
